beechnut   10 #871 Posted October 18, 2009 'Asda' sounds a bit like 'aster'. My grandad always said 'aster' (i.e. 'hast thou') and 'wilter' (i.e. wilt thou') instead of 'have you' and 'will you'. So he might say "aster bin ooam?", "aster gorr any fags" or "wilter lend me a bob?" etc.  As well as "aster" there's also "astle" - as in "astle claht thee if tha dunt gee.o'er"..

Plain Talker   11 #875 Posted October 18, 2009 Another old saying was a tuppny tustard tut in two, what does anyone know what it means? and not often am reight but am wrong again.  A tuppenny Custard, cut in two:-a bit "wet" and "wobbly" IIRC  I think the second one speaks for itself.
